The Senior Pastor, Father’s Touch Ministry Church, Nyanya, Abuja, Pastor Evans Idoko has declared that Nigerians should resist politicians who are using religion and ethnicity to divide us, at the expense of peace and unity ahead of the 2019 election.

He also said it was regrettable that the unity of Nigerian is only strengthened during sporting activities. “It is an indication that politicians have taken pleasure in using religion to divide Nigerians against themselves for political or selfish reasons. It must stop forthwith! Nigerians must resist it because it will take us nowhere,” he said.

Idoko said “as 2019 political activities gather momentum, we appeal to politicians seeking elective offices to eschew hatred and bitterness, and promote causes that will promote peace and unity among Nigerians’’. He said such divisions have been responsible for the obvious hatred among Nigerians, which, he said, has slowed down socio-economic and political development in the country. Idoko advised that the church should take the front row in mobilising Nigerians to participate in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

“It doesn’t come by words alone. We have to take a step further to empower people educationally, financially and otherwise so they could have voice and knowledge to take their rightful places in Nigerian political and economic discourse,” he said.
